E3 2006: Blade Dancer Hands-On

RPG love on the handheld.

Sony's PSP lounge had a ton of playable games but, more importantly, they had nice soft chairs to sit in while playing them. Needless to say, we took a load off and relaxed in one of said chairs while taking in Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light. There isn't anything new since we saw this game last week, so be sure to read those impressions for more.

Blade Dancer is roughly 90% complete and it shows. The load times are fairly short between regions and the game runs smoothly with some large areas to explore. We spent our time with the game wandering around a city conversing with townfolk. One thing you'll immediately notice with Blade Dancer is the huge number of side quests. Nearly everyone we spoke to offered up a new mission with the promise of a reward for its completion.
